xperience the last authentic vestige of the
once thriving cider and applejack industry in
New Jersey. Discover the hidden still that
allowed this distillery to operate through
prohibition. Sense the massive stone walls and
heavy timber structure built in 1848. See how water power is transferred by shafts, pulleys
and belts to drive conveyors, chopper and large,
powerful presses. This is the Ralston Cider
Mill, the only operational cider mill functioning
as a privately funded museum and educational
experience for students of all ages.

We are a private not for profit corporation dedicated to the preservation of this operational Cider Mill Museum open to the public for research and education.

We are staffed entirely by volunteers. Proceeds from events are used for developing our education and restoration programs and funding operating expenses.
